History Hunters Day Camp

Step into the shoes of a pioneer child and uncover the mystery of 1910 history at Heritage Park! In our History Hunters day camp program, participants discover the past through activities, games, and crafts that children their own age may have taken part in over 100 years ago. Campers dress in historical costume and become part of our lively historical village for one week; one they will surely remember forever! Some of the best parts of becoming a History Hunter are riding the Park’s thundering steam train and experiencing an old-fashioned fair full of games and laughter.

Medical concerns/allergies

For the safety of your child, we ask that you please advise Heritage Park of any medical conditions your child may have at the time of registration. This includes allergies to dust, dander, animals, etc., as participants may be taking a horse-drawn wagon ride and will be exposed to animals.

A $100 administration fee will be retained, for any camper who withdraws three weeks or less before the start of their camp program.
